What our guests are saying

Tried chicken biryani, lamb biryani and dal tadka with naan, everything is delicious. They have good ambiance, and the staff are very polite especially Hemant.

I've had Indian food in NYC, London and other cities, and Nawab's food compares favorably to high end Indian restaurants in those cities! Flavors are complex and robust. The spice levels are appropriate. Portion sizes are generous. Service was attentive and friendly. If you like Indian food, you will find Nawab a great experience!!

Very good food and on top of that very good service. Employees were checking on us in a good fashion, getting feedback on the food, and sometimes just striking conversation if people want too. Booths and tables were very clean and nice looking. On top of that this establishment offers rice refills. Would come back again and def would recommend to others.
